Gulf Air completely ignored cancellation/refund requests despite Middle East safety concerns — Indigo refunded immediately
I had a Bahrain-Mumbai Gulf Air flight on 5 May 2026 (PNR: UMBJPW).
Due to the Middle East tension/war-like situation during that period, I genuinely did not feel comfortable travelling and requested cancellation/refund support.
Interestingly, Indigo refunded my Mumbai-Bahrain ticket considering the situation. However, Gulf Air never even responded.
I tried:
- Emails
- Calls
- AirSewa complaints
But Gulf Air gave absolutely no acknowledgement or support.
My issue is not only about refund, but also about the complete lack of passenger communication during a sensitive safety-related situation.
Has anyone else faced similar non-responsive behavior from Gulf Air? Any further escalation options beyond AirSewa/DGCA?
